Here you will find the home of Edinburgh for
Everyone, the Edinburgh history book that's not only funny and amusing,
but also written in a way that is easy for everyone to understand.

So many history books have one focus:

a detailed history for those that know a lot about the subject;

a general overview with no interesting points;

translating a history into another language; or

a "funny" history that ignores the facts because it thinks you already know them.

Edinburgh for Everyone
is, as the name suggests, written to combine all these elements. It gives a true
account of Edinburgh's history from the very beginning until the modern day, but
with jokes and fascinating stories and interesting details, all written in a way
that is accessible to people who are learning the language.

If you'd like to learn more about the book and check out some sample content,

About The Author

Euan MacInnes' first book Edinburgh for Everyone combines his love
for Edinburgh, the mixture of history and humour that he uses in his other career as
a ghost tour guide and "jumper-ooter" for The
Cadies & Witchery Tours and all the experience he has gained as an English
teacher since 2006, the same year he finished his MA in History from the University
of Edinburgh.

Euan has also given lectures to school and university students, appeared on
television (BBC National Lottery Jet Set, BBC Eggheads,
BBC Antiques Roadshow) and even stood for election to the Scottish
Parliament representing Adam Lyal's Witchery Tour Party.
